2024 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 9.

I really needed a strong showing on Sunday after getting wrecked by my college football bets. I was able to recoup a large portion of my losses thanks to a three-team parlay.

Injuries have really hit some teams hard this season. It appears that the 49ers may be a near-full strength soon now that RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) returned to practice. On the other side of the coin, the Cowboys may lose QB Dake Prescott (hamstring) for a couple games.

Can the Lions continue their hot streak?

2024 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 7.

I had an outstanding Sunday, but finished 1-2 in the Sunday and Monday night primetime games. Any week when you have double-digit wins against the spread, is a positive week.

We have a rare midseason schedule with no bye weeks. We also have a handful of double-digit point spreads, which have been extremely rare so far this year. We will be seeing more going forward.

We are seeing injury issues wreaking havoc right now. We saw Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Cleveland lose important players to major injuries that will keep them out for the rest of the season.

2024 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-1 against the spread in Week 6.

I thought I was going to end up with double-digit wins this weekend, but Jets QB Aaron Rodgers threw a pick in the final minutes of their last to the Bills.

We have an odd schedule of games with a early-Sunday game in London and two Monday Night Football games.

The best teams in the league are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. The Detroit Lions have looked like the best team in the NFC so far this month, but a lot can change moving forward.

2024 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread in Week 4.

I had a rough start to my NFL bets as I was 2-8 after the early game session on Sunday. Thankfully, I nearly ran perfect with the remainder of the games to save my bankroll.

We have some fun games on the schedule with Baltimore at Cincinnati and Buffalo at Houston are the marquee games of the week. Those almost makes up for forcing a part of the country to sit through Las Vegas at Denver (ugh!).

2024 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in Week 2.

After a big Week 1, my picks struggled in the late afternoon games on Sunday. I did manage to hit on one of my parlays, so I was still in the black for the week.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently undefeated and host the Houston Texans this Sunday. Can they continue to buck the trend and start the year 3-0 with Sam freakin’ Darnold at quarterback?

2024 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread in Week 1.

We had a solid start to the season, but you can’t go all-in on a team that either impressed in Week 1 or completely fell on their face. It’s important to lean on your preseason rankings until an injury or something too glaring to ignore happens.

2024 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 132-116-6 against the spread last season. It wasn’t a banner year and I just hovered around .500 all season long. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I have written a monster post that somewhat acts like miniature season previews for every team. I can’t commit to writing almost 5k words every week, but I feel like it was needed to start the NFL season.

How will the rookie quarterbacks fare in their debuts?

2024 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

Lamar Jackson dotted funnyI went 2-2 against the spread during the Divisional playoff games.

Up to this point, we’ve had an entertaining slate of playoff of games. We haven’t seen many games that weren’t up for grabs deep into the fourth quarter of the games. I think we will see more of that this weekend.

The Lions are playing with house money right now and all the pressure is on the 49ers on Sunday. Can Brock Purdy handle this big of a moment?

Can Jason Kelce continue to be the best person alive?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship game against the spread and pick over/under point totals in those contests.

2024 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I whiffed pretty bad during Wild Card Weekend. I went favorite-heavy, but the underdogs had a big weekend. The weather played a huge factor in many of the over/under point totals as well.

We have two double-digit point spreads on Saturday, which isn’t very common. We usually see about half of the games on Wild Card Weekend with touchdown (and over) point spreads, but covering double-digit spreads this deep into the postseason is very hard…but I am not betting against both of them.

2023 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread during Week 16.

I’ve had back-to-back near.500 weeks and we need to finish the regular season strong.

This week’s trendy thing to do is for head coaches to start their backup quarterbacks. Some are forced to do so, but the Broncos and Commanders are opting to bench their starters to see what their backups can do at this point in the season. I’m curious to see if Jarrett Stidham can do better under center for the Broncos than Russell “Let’s Ride” Wilson.

2023 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

derrick henry dottedI went 7-7-2 against the spread during Week 15.

It was a back-and-forth week for me. I would get up by a game and then break even after the next slate of games.

Injuries are always a big issue at this point in ever NFL season. You have to keep an eye on the injury reports since there are a lot of banged-up quarterbacks right now. Also, some of the basement teams are rotating backup quarterbacks to finish the season. You will also see more double-digit point spreads than at any other point in the season (we have a few this week).

2023 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-2 against the spread during Week 14.

It was a solid week overall, but I got my picks up super late. The lines are well-adjusted at that point and it’s hard to get an edge up on them, so it was a nice surprise.

This week, there are a ton of tight point spreads. A lot of home favorite are at -3 and below. These games are notorious for being coinflips, so it could be a tricky week.

We have a full slate of games with sixteen games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
